617726 - Add privacy policy link to site footer on localize.mozilla.org

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Verbatim, defect)

Description

[Fred Wenzel [:wenzel]]

The Legal team has identified this site as lacking a link to the privacy policy.

Please add a link to our privacy policy to the site footer.

The appropriate policy is:
http://www.mozilla.org/about/policies/privacy-policy.html

If you have any questions, please contact Liz Compton or me.

The easiest way to do this is to edit the base template that all pages are based on. It is available in Pootle/templates/base.html at <div id="footer"...

There are already links for "Help", "Contact Us", etc. as seen at the bottom of every page, which seems like a good place to link to the privacy policy.

The base template is quite stable between releases, so this should pose no problem to migrate on upgrade, even in the case of major upgrades to Pootle. It can also be done outside of the main templates by putting the modified template in a separate directory which is added to TEMPLATE_DIRS in pootle/settings.py. In this case changes should only be needed on major upgrades with changes to the base template in the Pootle code.

Peter, is this something that's easy to add to the Verbatim code you recently wrote?

:wenzel certainly! I've already messed with the footer for the Contributors link. 

I'll take care of this.

Pootle 2.2 adds a legal pages section which makes it easier to deploy custom pages such as this.
